Insulation Piercing Connectors

Insulation Piercing Connectors are used on all AB cable systems (messenger wire and supporting system) to take a tap connection. This tap can be used to continue the line, distribute the line, support street lighting, or provide service connections to households. These connectors feature a shear head bolt mechanism that ensures optimal torque and secure installation without damaging the conductor. The design allows the connection to be completely sealed against any water ingress, acting as a waterproof connector. Suitable for branch conductor applications, these connectors comply with EN 50483-4 standards, ensuring reliability and safety in electrical distribution systems.

Insulation Piercing Connectors (IPCs) are electrical connectors used to make contact with insulated conductors without stripping the insulation. They pierce the cable insulation using sharp metal teeth, enabling a secure and reliable connection.

Insulation Piercing Connectors are commonly used in low and medium voltage overhead line systems, street lighting, and branch connections for utility distribution networks due to their ease of installation and maintenance-free design.

Axis India offers Insulation Piercing Connectors suitable for a wide range of conductor sizes, typically from 1.5 mm² to 240 mm². This ensures compatibility with various power distribution needs.

The purpose of an insulation piercing connector is to create a tap or branch connection without stripping the insulation from the main conductor, saving time and ensuring a safe, watertight electrical connection.

Insulation Piercing Connectors are generally designed for one-time use to maintain a secure and reliable connection. Reusing them can compromise performance and safety.

IPC connectors offer quick and tool-friendly installation, reduce the need for insulation stripping, and provide durable, weather-resistant joints ideal for outdoor and utility applications.
